Candidly, no. MasterCard has to approve our card designs, and our card processor does not support user-defined designs, so uploading your own picture is not being considered. We may offer a small number of choices on the background color. It's very hard to please a broad family audience with card designs, and our primary energy/focus goes into financial literacy capabilities and personal customer support, so I doubt we'll ever be heralded for our "cool" card designs :-) Also, kids lose their cards ALL THE TIME, so keeping costs super low there are paramount for our target audience.

Same! I would have been happy to wait a few weeks if I knew the design was changing. We've had the cards less than a month, and I like the newer card design MUCH better. How much is the fee to switch to the new cards?

I'm actually okay with either to be honest because my children could care less. Maybe when they get in high school it will matter but right now they are winning because most of their peers have neither...

Current cardholders receive the new design when:1. a renewal card is shipped out upon expiration [no charge]2. a replacement card is ordered (http://blog.famzoo.com/p/famzoo-card-faqs.html#order-replace) [no charge]3. a new card is ordered (http://blog.famzoo.com/p/famzoo-card-faqs.html#more-cards) [$2 one-time shipping fee for 5th card and beyond]

Please note that on route number 2, the current card is knocked out of commission for 7 to 10 business days.

Regarding Apple Pay, currently our card processor does not support using our cards as a payment source for Apple Pay, and sadly has no near term plans to do so. We'll let people know if/when that changes. Note that parents can use Apple Pay to reload: http://blog.famzoo.com/p/load.html#applepay

Regarding chipped cards: that's in process as an option, but they'll cost extra to order and replace. Kids lose their cards ALL THE TIME, so we'll retain the non-chipped option for those who want free replacements.
